If the Emperor is reasonably powerful (8 provinces, 6 if Austria). So yes, Bohemia isn't all that unlikely: it's a pretty powerful prince in the HRE, and it's an elector to boot, so it has all the chances to be elected. It also starts with 7 provinces, so it only needs to win one more somewhere. And that's where the difference between Bohemia and the Palatinate lies: the latter needs to get expand from 3 provinces to 8, which is why we see it a Palatinate Burgundy much less often than a Bohemian. (or at least I do.)

Not necessarily, generally only Austria and Bohemia get it from being Emperor with the latter occasionally getting Inheritance without being Emperor or while having less than 8 provinces.

If emperor isn't eligible then it goes to neighbouring HRE member with royal marriage and 3+ provinces, HRE member with royal marriage and 3+ provinces, Castille/Spain not a member of HRE with royal marriage, Emperor, a neighbouring monarchy in Europe but not in the British Isles and finally a neighbouring country in Europe but not in the British Isles. All require not being subject. If none are eligible then I presume Burgundy survives only losing their french lands to France since there isn't anything further.

Sadly never saw a screenshot of a non-member of the HRE besides Castille/Spain get the inheritance.

Right, I forgot to take into account the fact that the Emperor might be ineligible, and the inheritance falls to a non-Emperor country.

The real tragedy is that England/ Scotland can't inherit Burgundy

Bit of a bizarre restriction though, isn't it? An England that won the HYW should be more than eligible, as they're now the maim power in Europe.

Off course they can, just requires moving capital from British Isles first. Also the tragedy would be for the likes of Cornwall or Wales not for *snort* those two.

Jokes aside you do realize that after Castille/Spain it goes to Emperor with no other requirements so only way it is even relevant is if the HRE doesn't exist anymore, right? Or I suppose if it gets there player as Emperor rejects the Inheritance.

This is the third time Canada declared on Japan and landed troops to siege.

For reference this is Canada.

Not to be outdone Japan landed some troops of their own.

I don't even know how that Scottish Louisiana ended up there.

This is from my Basileus run. It's a good feeling when the Ottomans are small enough that their only rival is Trebizond. 100% my fault of course, but I still got a laugh out of it.

As I already said somewhere, for the love of God I can't understand why all colonial nations and their mothers love to invade Japan, it's amazing. I have seen this country being invaded by Canada (in my own games), USA, Mexico, Brazil and Colombia.

They want to prevent the future where they all owe money to Japan. Or perhaps they just want to prevent hentai from existing.

I'm hoping this works, first time I've ever posted a image to here.

Here you see two things, a white peace from a Large La-Plata (English I think) and Japan, and La-Plata owned Scotland. Scotland has been... unlucky this game. First owned by England, then I liberated them, then vassalised (or maybe annexed) by me, liberated my a enemy country, pretender revolts, annexed my Norway, revolts, annexed by La-Plata. And that was the Fifth La-Platan-Scottish War. The others have been ducats/War Reps from Scotland TO La-Plata. They had a 24 stack exiles in Scotland for decades.

I like your taste of flags

Gotta love it when the AI goes achievement hunting. British Caribbean colony revolts from GB, forms Haiti, and then this happens:

When your monarch wants to rule your country so much that he clones himself as his own heir...

Probably totally an accident, but... ruler and heir with the same name and EXACTLY the same stats?

Why didn't you conquer this California? It's like 2 provinces and your borders would look 10x better

It's this mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=381142184 I installed it for a laugh. From the 2 disagrees I got on my post, I guess I shouldn't use it.

This made me chuckle a bit, not really somewhere I picture norse Canadians.
